Application / Regulation advice Why not ?

I just wonder, why don't they make these guns with rimfire and centerfire calipers ? is there a law against that ?

Rimfire, great question, I would highly consider one of those. They are starting to get into centrefire pistol cartridges with the SR-45, which shoots .45 ACP, .45 Long Colt and .410. When it comes to larger centre fire cartridges, I suspect they'd need some beefing up and redesigning probably.

I’m patiently waiting on the delivery of my SR 45. The 45 ACP capability is what lured me in. Range toy guns are much more fun when you can shoot cheap pistol ammo.

The moon clips are not the greatest unfortunately. After a few uses they don’t seem to grab and hold the rims as firmly, meaning they become awkward to load (tendency for rounds to slide out while you’re trying to drop into cylinder). I didn’t sand or do anything to them either, simply used them. I stick to .45 colt now. Fine by me since I’m not big volume shooting mine.

I really want to try one out someday, particularly for the .45 ACP capability, but unfortunately it's down the list a ways, also waiting to hear some more long term talk on them. Hope yours works awesome and is a ton of fun, they are a neat idea for sure!

Yeah I hear you, it was down a bit on my list as well but I saw the susceptibility to the next round of bans (whenever they may come) and made the move. Hopefully I get a few years of enjoyment out of it.

I hope so, really hoping double action revolver rifles can keep out of the bans for a while, but, anything could happen I suppose. Even the way PCC's were prior to the bans, these would have still appealed to me, they're just neat and different.

I was just about to get the S&W PCC right on the day they issued the damn OIC.

Funny you mention the S&W PCC, that was my next purchase right before the ban as well. I was just waiting for a sale since they frequently went on sale for a couple hundred bucks off, got hit with the ban instead.

they're the closest one to handguns that we can get for now. I think I'll get one pretty soon.
